Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena stock was trading at EUR 11.01 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:40 a.m. CEST, 1.61 percent below the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 11.19. The latest corporate focus is Intesa Sanpaolo's revised offer terms, which MPS reviewed in a board statement dated October 12, 2026.
According to Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, Intesa increased the cash component of its offer from EUR 1.00 to EUR 1.25 per MPS share. The consideration also includes 1.600 newly issued Intesa shares for each tendered MPS share.
Offer value meets execution risk
The October 12 statement put the implied value at EUR 10.341 per MPS share, based on Intesa's share price on June 5, 2026. MPS said that represented a 15.3 percent premium to its official price on that date, compared with 12.5 percent under the original terms.
The same document outlined a competing industrial plan with EUR 1.8 billion in annual synergies targeted by 2029, including EUR 1.2 billion of cost synergies and EUR 0.6 billion of revenue and funding synergies. It also described an extraordinary distribution of EUR 1.208 per MPS share, subject to the relevant resolutions and transaction conditions.
What does the operating base show?
Financial data for the second quarter of 2026 show revenue of EUR 3.95 billion and net income of EUR 1.12 billion. The bank's total assets stood at EUR 245.90 billion at June 30, 2026. These figures provide a current operating reference as shareholders weigh transaction structure against standalone execution.
Three milestones shape the decision
On August 7, 2026, MPS presented its second-quarter results through its investor-relations calendar. On October 1, 2026, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena reported that Morningstar DBRS upgraded its long-term issuer rating to BBB (high) from BBB. On October 12, 2026, the bank published its preliminary observations on the revised Intesa offer, including the EUR 1.25 cash component.
Dates for shareholders
The next substantiated corporate date is the ordinary and extraordinary shareholder meeting on October 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in Siena, as stated by Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena. A financial-results date listed for February 10, 2027 provides the next reported-results reference.
Stock reflects a contested offer
The share price remains below the October 12 implied offer value of EUR 10.341 only when compared with the earlier June reference, while the current Lang & Schwarz quote sits above that level. The key near-term variable is the October 29 vote and its effect on the competing transaction paths.
